    You can find Cloud Cover for GFS, GEFS, 12k NAM on Pivotalweather

    EXCELLENT!!  thx for the weathermodels 101 class.  good luck monday;  i'll be staying overnight in central VT and maybe heading down I91 to lyndon and beyond depending on traffic then.

    Yeah the at-worst plan is pull over on I-91 breakdown lane, sit on grass. I'm nervous even that option won't be possible if the breakdown lane is already a parking lot.

    But hopefully 7 hours drive from Boston is enough to reach Newport and stage someplace more reasonable.

    So happy you're doing New England instead of Eagle Pass! Unbelievable that NNE will be the best viewing in the country. A month ago I was bracing myself for a washout.

    18z NAM as you wrote above looks great...

    the concept of chaos theory tells us that we wil never be able to accurately model the weather.  Even with a sensor measuring everyting related to the weather 1m up, left and right, in a grid all around the world enough could go on within that framework to change everything.  Fluid dynamics.  diffeq.  Theres not anough computing power to do it.  Maybe quantum computers that can have bits both 1 and 0 can solve this.  

    and Y2Q (google it) is just a few years away
